What's new and what's successful in science teaching and learning?

On April 29, 2009, colleagues and students of charismatic scientist and educator Cecily Selby gathered at a symposium to honor her legacy by highlighting the important breakthroughs science educators have made --in school and out-of-school--and to celebrate their passion for the sciences and their successes in communicating that passion to others. These thoughtful leaders, many Steinhardt alumni, shared best practices in presenting science in artistic, technological, environmental, meteorological, community, and personal contexts. Their common objective: to open sci-tech literacy and access to jobs and careers in science to all. Read More

Sharing Our Success in Urban Science and Math Teaching

The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for urban 7th-12th grade math and science teachers, school districts' personell, and science and math university faculty to meet and share their successful strategies for increasing interest and participation in science and math.
